Human emotions do not exist in isolation; they manifest vividly through interactions between individuals and their environments. Central to these interactions are visual stimuli (faces, body postures, and contextual scenes) which powerfully evoke and shape emotional experiences. The processes of emotion elicitation, particularly through visual and embodied modalities, have profound implications for understanding emotional dynamics. This chapter explores how affective images and deliberate emotion elicitation techniques help uncover the intricate connections between visual perception, bodily responses, and emotional experience. By integrating historical insights, contemporary methodologies, computational advances, and ethical considerations, we establish a comprehensive understanding of how visual and emotional stimuli shape embodied emotional responses.
